I understand that integrated electronic ventilation controllers can give better control of the in-house environment, but just how important is this to broiler flock performance?
Our modern broilers have a genetic potential for weight gain and feed conversion that just cannot be realized without consistent, on-target temperature control. The answer, then, is that integrated controllers have high payoff potential for any grower producing modern broiler birds in a competitive market situation. Even good conventional thermostats are likely to have accuracy in the plus or minus 5-degree F (±3 degrees C) range (or even greater), where electronic control systems are capable of plus or minus 2-degree F (±1 degree C) control or better. Integrated control systems further make it much more likely that optimum environment will be maintained since they automate the process of adjusting ventilation to changing conditions. It is just impossible to achieve anywhere near that accuracy by manually setting and resetting even the best thermostat systems. The payoff? Commercial broiler companies that have closely monitored thermostat vs electronic control houses report gaining as
